Honda Cars India has confirmed that the all-new Civic will be launched on March 7. Honda dealers across the country have begun accepting pre-launch bookings for a token amount of Rs 31,000. The tenth-gen sedan will be offered with two engine options - a 1.8-litre i-VTEC petrol engine mated to a 7-step CVT and a 1.6-litre i-DTEC diesel engine paired with a 6-speed manual gearbox. Yes, that’s right. This is the first time the Civic is being offered with a diesel engine in the country. The engine in question is the same unit that does duty under the bonnet of the new CR-V.

The Civic, which is making a comeback after almost six years, will be offered in three variants and five colour options -Platinum White Pearl, Radiant Red, Modern Steel, Lunar Silver and Golden Brown. The top-spec Civic, which will get a ZX badge on the tailgate as seen on these spy shots, will feature six airbags, traction control, vehicle stability control, electric parking brake as well Honda Lane Watch, which debuted with the new CR-V. Other noteworthy features include a 7-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Android Auto and Apple CarPlay as well as remote engine and AC start, an 8-way power adjustable driver seat and dual-zone climate control.

But does it hold enough firepower to compete with the Toyota Corolla Altis, Hyundai Elantra and the Skoda Octavia on paper?
